Chapter 348 His daughter won his heart
After the bait is released, it takes a certain amount of time to wait for the fish to take the bait.
Before that, Wei Ruo still had his own affairs to attend to.
Although Zhuangzi and the shop have nanny Yu in charge, they help and see that Wei Ruo doesn't need to worry about it, but there are still some things that Wei Ruo needs to make up his own mind.
Cuiping stood outside the room door: "Miss, the master has returned home today, and is in the study in the front yard. Let the slaves come and invite Miss."
Wei Ruo put down the brush in his hand, paused, and replied, "Wait a minute, I'll be right there."
Wei Ruo put away the account book, and asked Cuiping to fetch the jar of thyme.
Xiumei came back with thyme, and asked: "Miss, why is the master looking for you today?"
"I'm afraid he came back today because of the incident that the food delivery team was attacked halfway. As for why he asked me to wait, you should know." Wei Ruo guessed.
Xiumei nodded.
Wei Ruo took Xiumei and Cuiping to Wei Mingting's study in the front yard.
In the study, Wei Mingting was sitting in front of the desk, flipping through something solemnly, while Yunshi stood beside him, grinding for him.
After Wei Ruo came in, Wei Mingting stopped what he was doing.
Seeing Xiumei holding the wine jar behind Wei Ruo, Wei Mingting said: "Father appreciates Ruoer's kindness, but today is not suitable for drinking."
Wei Mingting is a very principled person. He only drinks alcohol when he can relax. Now that something happened in the barracks, he is determined not to drink alcohol on this kind of thing.
"I promised my father this wine before, and I will serve it back today." Wei Ruo said.
"Leave it alone for now." Wei Mingting said, "I asked you to come today because I want to hear your opinion on some matters."
"What father wants to ask must be about the things in the military camp, but my daughter doesn't understand the things in the military camp. Why would father want to ask my opinion?" Wei Ruo asked.
Hearing this, Wei Mingting was a little surprised but also a little relieved: "Ruo'er is really smart, and the father didn't say what it is, so you have probably guessed it."
"What can make my father so worried is what happened in the barracks. What's more, according to common sense, my father should be in the barracks now. Coming back at this moment must mean that something happened in the barracks, and the matter is not small."
"You're not wrong at all. Something happened in the barracks, and my father was very troubled. I don't know why I wanted to ask you, but I vaguely felt that maybe Ruoer's intelligence could give my father a different feeling." Opinion. Ruo'er, you don't have to be nervous, you just need to express your opinion, it doesn't matter if it's right or not, we're chatting at home, no matter right or wrong." Wei Mingting said.
"Father, please tell me." Wei Ruo also wanted to hear Wei Mingting's opinion on the attack on the food delivery team.
"The last time when we fought against Japanese pirates, Weifu led a team of troops to attack on the flanks, but halfway through the road, they were attacked by Japanese pirates. Weifu and his party were caught off guard and almost died." Wei Mingting talked about the last time he was attacked by Japanese pirates. serious injury.
Wei Ruo only knew that Wei Mingting was almost killed in battle last time, but he didn't know that there was such a secret behind it.
On the side, Yun's face showed a surprised expression when he heard this remark. Her husband had never mentioned this matter to her before.
Wei Mingting continued: "Originally my father only thought that time was an accident, but something happened recently. The barracks managed to find the supply of grain and grass. Because it was transported within the city, my father thought it should be safe, but he didn't want to transport grain and grass. The team was ambushed halfway."
"Father, does anyone have someone to suspect?" Wei Ruo went straight to the point.
Wei Mingting's eyes showed joy, his daughter was really smart, and she understood what he meant immediately.
"No." Wei Mingting said, "What I'm worried about is how to find this person. If this person is not removed, then our army's battle with the Japanese pirates will be very difficult, and many soldiers will die because of it. "
"Ruo'er thinks he should go to the Seventh Prince for his father?" Wei Mingting was a little surprised.
Wei Ruo nodded: "Among the military camp, if you want to say who is the least suspicious, besides the father, it should be the Seventh Prince."
Although Wei Ruo doesn't like Chu Lan, it cannot be denied that Chu Lan is the most likely innocent person among them.
Regardless of considering Chu Lan's identity and interests, or according to the description in the original book, it is unlikely that Chu Lan was the one who did this.
"Father, I remember Ruo'er said last time that our family should not have too many contacts with the Seventh Prince." Wei Mingting said again.
"It's true that you shouldn't get too involved with the Seventh Prince, and you shouldn't get involved in court disputes, but this matter is different. Father and the Seventh Prince are in the military camp together. There is an inner ghost in the military camp. You should work together to eradicate the inner ghost. It has nothing to do with standing in line. Court disputes." Wei Ruo explained.
Wei Mingting stared at Wei Ruo, and the fog in his heart dissipated with Wei Ruo's words.
"Ruo'er's words are very reasonable." Wei Mingting approved Wei Ruo's judgment, "As a father, you really shouldn't be too obsessed with keeping boundaries with the Seventh Prince. There should be special countermeasures for special things."
Wei Ruo thought for a while, and asked Wei Mingting: "Father, how many people knew about the arrangement of your flanking raid that day?"
"not much."
"Who are the main people?"
"Only people above the general level know. After the discussion, I led the team and set off, and the people below didn't know."
After Wei Mingting finished answering, Wei Ruo frowned and asked, "What did Ruoer think of?"
"Not yet." Wei Ruo did not elaborate.
She has already prepared the relevant game, and the answer will be revealed after the fish take the bait.
"Okay, father knows, Ruo'er should go back first, and think about it carefully for father."
"Daughter resigns."
Wei Ruo left the study, and then Yun asked Wei Mingting: "Husband, there are really spies in the barracks? Aren't you very dangerous?"
"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter, you take care of your family." Wei Mingting urged.
"Yes, the concubine knows." Yun knows that she can't do anything else, she can only take care of the house so that her husband has no worries.
At this moment, Mrs. Yun is a little fortunate that the eldest daughter is smart and can help her husband solve problems on her behalf.
###
Noon the next day.
At the invitation of Fan Chengxu, Wei Ruo and Xiumei dressed up in men's clothing and went out to Zuixianju.
Fan Chengxu has been looking for Xu Heyou more than once recently, but Wei Ruo has been really busy recently, so he kept pushing and pushing until today when he was free.
After Wei Ruo entered the box, he found that besides Fan Chengxu, there was another young man whom he didn't know in the room.
"Boss Fan has guests? It seems that I came at the wrong time." Wei Ruo said.
Seeing Wei Ruo, Fan Chengxu beamed with joy: "No, Brother Heyou, you came just in time!"
Qi Zhen glanced at Wei Ruo, and asked with a smile, "This is Mr. Xu Heyou Xu whom Brother Fan has been thinking about?"
